Crate wkhtmltopdf [−] [src]

Generate PDFs from HTML safely using wkhtmltopdf

Wkhtmltopdf uses QT Webkit to render HTML for PDF generation. This crate depends on low-level wkhtmltopdf bindings, to provide an ergonomimc API for generating PDFs from URLs, local HTML files, or HTML strings. Installing wkhtmltopdf (currently 0.12.3) is a prerequisite to using this crate.

Example

use wkhtmltopdf::*;

let html = r#"<html><body><div>foo</div></body></html>"#;
let mut pdf_app = PdfApplication::new().expect("Failed to init PDF application");
let mut pdfout = pdf_app.builder()
    .orientation(Orientation::Landscape)
    .margin(Size::Inches(2))
    .title("Awesome Foo")
    .build_from_html(&html)
    .expect("failed to build pdf");

pdfout.save("foo.pdf").expect("failed to save foo.pdf");

Other examples can be seen in the documentation for PdfBuilder methods:

Addtionally, the lowlevel module provides safe abstractions that allow full configuration of wkhtmltopdf.
